## Resource

A seismic shift is unfolding in Minnesota’s State Senate as longtime Republican Sen. Warren Limmer unexpectedly retires from District 37, opening the door for a razor-thin race that could tip the legislative balance. Brady Hoag, a corporate headhunter turned GOP hopeful, faces off against Kristy Janigo, a veteran-focused DFLer with city council experience. While Hoag touts fiscal discipline and state budget reform, Janigo highlights her work with veterans and fraud prevention — all while campaigning in a district that defied expectations by voting Democratic in the last presidential election. With both candidates pouring energy into connecting with voters on infrastructure, economy, and change, this seat is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal races in the state.
